Champions Trophy: '...try Mystery Spinner Chakravarthy Vs Pak', Suggests Manjrekar
Star Sports Press Room: Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar has expressed his opinion on the potential playing XI for Sunday’s blockbuster clash with Pakistan in the Champions Trophy, proposing for skipper Rohit Sharma to use Varun Chakravarthy as a mystery spinner to outsmart the arch-rivals.
India, winner of the 2013 edition of the Champions Trophy, head into Sunday's game having comfortably defeated Bangladesh whereas it will be a must-win game for Pakistan, the defending champions having won the title in 2017 when the event was last held, who lost slumped to a 60-run defeat to New Zealand in the tournament's opening match in Karachi.
Asked about any potential changes that India should make for the high-pressure clash with the arch-rivals, Manjrekar suggested that although India ticked many boxes in the win against Bangladesh, the only potential change would be the introduction of Varun Chakravarthy as a mystery spinner.
